Biography

He had one sibling, an older sister named Judy Curry, who died of a brain tumour in the early 2000s. Curry is an agnostic.

On 23 May 2013, Curry was reported to have suffered a major stroke at his home in Los Angeles. Although many sources suggested the stroke had made it difficult for him to speak, his longtime agent Marcia Hurwitz told the Daily Mail "Tim is doing great," and that 'He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour'. Shortly after the initial report, Hurwitz told The Hollywood Reporter that the stroke actually occurred in July 2012 and that Curry had been going to physical therapy. The stroke left him in a wheelchair.
